If any other matter should come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote such proxies in accordance with their best judgment.

PROPOSALS
The stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon two proposals at the meeting. The following is a summary of the proposals and the voting recommendations of the Board of Directors:
Proposal | | | Board Recommendation | |
1 - Election of Directors | | | FOR | |
2 - Ratification of the company’s certifying public accounting firm | | | FOR | |
Following is a detailed description of the proposals to be considered by the stockholders.
PROPOSAL 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The first proposal to be voted on is the election of directors. The Board’s nominees are John Saunders, Dr. Gary Smith, Adam Larson, Robert Van Schoick II and Peter C. Lapaseotes, Jr. Biographical information about each of the nominees is included in “Director Information” below. If elected, each of the nominees will serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and will be subject to reelection at such meeting along with the other directors.
The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve or decline to serve as a director if elected. If a nominee becomes unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, the Board will either select a substitute nominee or will reduce the size of the Board. If you have submitted a proxy and a substitute nominee is selected, your shares will be voted for the election of the substitute nominee.
In accordance with the company’s bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality vote of shares represented and entitled to vote at the meeting. That means the five (5) nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominees.
